Hey everyone! I believe that I might be on the spectrum but I’m not sure how to start the conversation with my new PCP/therapist. The things I thought were normal I’m finding are not, like masking and sensory sensitivity/overload. Does anyone have any advise or can tell me about your diagnosis experience?

      I have struggled to get a diagnosis. I recently switched my mental health practitioner because of this. My new one is very interested in sending me back to a neuropsychologist I’ve seen before just because I believe I have autism. And that’s enough for him to want me to be tested. The best advice I can give is to advocate for yourself. If your doctor pushes back, get a different opinion. Your doctor is there to care for YOU. You deserve answers. ❤️❤️
